A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews!! That's all I have to say this time. On with the story!
The drive home from the airport seemed long and monotonous, rolling over the freeway to get home. Lucy and Annie only spoke a few words. Lucy rested her head against her window and began to think. 'What if something happens to him?' she wondered. 'What if the plane crashes?' As if she was reading Lucy's mind, Annie spoke up.
"Luce, he'll be fine. Don't worry." She told her daughter. Lucy nodded her head unconvinced. Lucy fell deep into thought once more, and before long, her mother's voice broke into her thoughts again.
"Luce! We're home.Lucy? Lucy!" Annie shook Lucy's shoulders to get her attention.
"Oh!" Lucy said, surprised. They got out of the car and went inside. Lucy didn't like to be alone, so she came in to the Camden house for the night. She slept in her old room with Ruthie. It was weird for her to be in her old room again. She remembered the night before she married Kevin. She had been laying in this very spot, singing 'I'm getting married in the morning.' She remembered it like it was yesterday and she laughed. She had been so exited. Then, with out another thought, she drifted off into a deep sleep.
The next morning when Lucy awoke, the bed where Ruthie had slept was empty. She got up and went down stairs for breakfast. People were scattered downstairs, getting ready to eat. Sam and David sat in their high chairs eating toaster waffles. Ruthie, Simon and Eric sat at the table. Ruthie and Simon were eating toast and Eric was reading the paper. Annie shuffled around the kitchen getting food for every one. Lucy rushed over to her mother to help.
"Lucy! You're awake!" Annie said warmly, hugging Lucy softly.
"Can I help you?" Lucy asked, eyeing the growing mess around her mother as she tried to serve every one.
"No! Sit down." She leaned closer to Lucy. "It's them who should be helping!" she said, pointing to the people at the table. "You're in no condition to help. You're due in 13 days!" Annie pushed her daughter softly so the table and set a piece of toast in front of her before she had time to object.
"Eat." Annie instructed her. Lucy lifted the toast to her mouth and took a bite. She cringed. She reached and got a lemon from the middle of the table. Cutting the lemon in half, she squeezed the juice onto her buttered toast and took a large bite. Simon sat across from her with a disgusted look covering his face.
"How can you eat that?" he asked her.
"Odd cravings" she told him, patting her stomach and laughing. "Don't you remember when mom was pregnant with the twins?"
"Of course I do.but she just had corn dogs. A lot of them, but they were corn dogs none the less." They both laughed.
Lucy finished her toast quickly and stood up to go back upstairs. As she stood, she felt a tickle go down her leg. She looked down at the floor, and to her horror, she saw a puddle below her. The twins laughed. He thought his sister had wet her pants. Lucy did not join them in laughing.
"Mom!" she cried, afraid. Annie turned around. "My water just broke!" Annie looked astonished.
"Get in the car." Annie told Lucy. "I'll go get your bag from the garage apartment, and then we're going to the hospital.
